Dealing in buying and selling with non-Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Professor 'Abdullah ibn Abi Talib, do we deal in buying and selling with the rulers, with non-Muslims other than us?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible, what?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to deal in magic and fame with the children of the disbelievers, with non-Muslims?
The Shaykh:
With non-Muslims other than us. They are not to be considered hostile, my brother. The hostile one is the disbeliever with whom we have no treaty; that is the hostile one, the disbeliever with whom we have no treaty. As for the Muslim, he is our brother, whether he is in our land or in the land of the disbelievers; he is our brother and not hostile. Yes.
